...Carina Braun Ms. Breuer – 8 Book Review 18 October 2012 11/22/63 by Stephen King I have always loved Stephen King and his disturbing ways of writing. After reading 11/22/63, I was amazed at all the different types of writing he is capable of. I first fell in love with Stephen King’s ways after watching the movie It and later reading the book. I have continued reading his books and watching his movies as they are always spine-chilling, exciting, and very creative. I was over-joyed at the thought of him writing a book about one of my favorite periods in history, the 60’s. My parents gave me 11/22/63 the Christmas of 2011. I started reading this book right away. It begins with a 30-year-old man named Jake. He’s a high school English teacher in the year 2011. Almost every night he eats at Al’s Diner where he knows the owner, Al. Al is about 45 years old and full of life, but one day Jake suddenly notices he’s becoming very sick and weak. Turns out Al has been traveling back in time to the year 1960 and experiencing time back then. Al opens up the opportunity to Jake of going back in time, as Al is now developing cancer. Al gives Jake the mission of going back to 1960 and stopping President John F. Kennedy from being assassinated. Along the way, Jake finds himself changing the future as we know it. He ends up in some tricky situations, such as lying about where he comes from and falling in love with a girl with a messed up past. It’s not an alternate reality sort of book,...

...How Lucky You Are, is a short story written by Debi Alper. In 2012 - 566,000 people legally immigrated to the United Kingdom. As well in 2012, 41,482 foreign nationals was removed from within the UK under immigration law or deported. Learn to appreciate the things you have before time forces you to appreciate the things you once had. In our daily life, we take everything for granted. Education is a norm, rather than the exception, like it is in some countries. This is something that sums up todays living moral. Mostly every teenager, I include, do not think about what we have, and how easy we can lose it. Our main protagonist is also in this group, until he meets someone with a different point of view. The short story begins with an intro to Max, the protagonist in the short story. You hear about his school and his attitude towards it. The next element is a flashback to when his father left him and his family, Max is specifically mad about this, and this is clearly something that still troubles him. The story switches back into real time, where Max is laying in his bed, looking at his phone. On the phone is a picture of Max and a girl named Ishraqi. The next part is again a flashback to where the story of the picture is explained. The story behind the picture is that Max is “bunking” from school and meets two young women, Alexsa and Ishraqi.

...you are, and the things you never want to lose. But even though there is something you do not want to remember the memory will stay in you. It will not disappear. We can see in the short story “Fireweed” how much a memory can overwhelm a person if the memory is tragic and is hard to forget. In the beginning of the short story Baluta wakes up from a nightmare. He sees his sister Alanso who stirrers at him from the dead. His sister’s death had given him a memory he cannot run away from. There will always come something in the way that will remind him about his tragic memory, which he will not forget. “Fireweed” is written by Skye Brannon in 2009. It is a short story about a man named Baluta who immigrated to the United States of America because of civil war in Liberia. His family was killed back in Liberia, and the story might take place around 1980-1990 because of the civil war in Liberia. As it says in the text: “”The war will be coming our way soon.” Baluta remembered; it was the first time he had seen fear behind his father’s strong eyes.” (p. 11, line 95). There is a song that is highlighted in the text. “Tiffany’s cellphone rang. It was a custom ring of a song called ‘I still haven’t found what I’m looking for’ by U2” (p.11, line 103). The song comes from U2’s album from 1987, so the story might be around 1987-1990. Baluta who is the main character, has problems finding work. He is a carpenter and when he finds a job, he works under the pseudonym “Joel”, which has...

To her it is an inheritance of her parent’s ties to India. “The question of identity is always a difficult one, but especially so for those who are culturally displaced, as immigrants are, or those who grow up in two worlds simultaneously, as is the case for their children.”- Jhumpa Lahiri.

The short story is told by a third person narrator and is attached to the boy, therefore the story is told from his point of view. The boy adores his father. His father on the other hand, does not seem to be very interested and he does not show any interest when his son shows him his torch or talks to him. Before going on the camping trip with his father, the boy hears his mother talks...
